Parameter highlight group doesn't capture references in body

[psi4j]

I use a highlighting color for parameters to help with readability. Rust and many other languages will highlight the parameter inside the parentheses the same color as when it is referenced in the body of the function. This doesn't seem to work with Python. Maybe you know of a quick fix to this issue since you've written the code and know how it all works. I thought it would be worth asking as some people might find this useful. Thank you for your time and work you've put in on this. I know people in open source don't hear that enough.

Locals can accomplish this, but you're likely looking for semantic highlighting anyways which an LSP provides

[psi4j]

Oh, I think you might be right. Would this then fall under the LSP? It might be that pyright doesn't provide that semantic group of parameter reference for highlighting and the Rust Analyzer does. Or maybe I just don't know how to get it to work.

pyright doesn't provide semantic tokens

[psi4j]

I see. So how does Pylance get this to work under the hood? I wouldn't abandon Neovim or TreeSitter just for this one feature, but semantic highlighting sure makes it easier to read other languages. I just wish I had a solution for Python. Anyways, thank you for all your work on this.

who knows, it's closed source, you could use semshi

Thanks, I'll look into it.
